Enlightening and uplifting!

Extremely thought-provoking!

I wanted to convey how impressed I was with the National Adaptation Forum – it was extremely thought-provoking and I learned a lot.

One of the best!

Thanks for hosting a great conference last week. It seriously was one of the best conferences I've attended and that wasn't just because you had coffee available all day or because it was all adaptation all the time. Please put me on the list to help with the 2015 conference.

Fabulous opportunity!

The National Adaptation Forum was a smart conference—it provided a fabulous opportunity to learn about and to share information on the art, the science and the practice of climate adaptation. Maybe more importantly, it was a vibrant conference.

Much bigger than we anticipated!

I continue to marvel at what EcoAdapt has done with the National Adaptation Forum. This was a big event, much bigger than we anticipated. The representation of so many sectors, and the participation of so many local, community groups and municipalities, was great to see.

Very impressed!

Congratulations, on what I think was a spectacular conference last week. There was so much interesting information being presented, my head was spinning. I loved it. It was very well organized and I was very impressed with the service provided.

Extremely valuable!

The forum was extremely valuable, thought provoking, and exciting! There is so much work to be done and listening to experts and practitioners discuss the many issues facing us all and how we can best address those issues was so important.
